In the run up to the French election, the president-elect Emmanuel Macron’s campaign was hit by a huge email hack. We reveal the full story of how the news spread on social media. We’ll find out how it spread from obscure corners of the internet, to Twitter, to the mainstream media; and we hear from the American far-right activist at the centre of the story. Presented by Megha Mohan and Mike Wendling Produced by Will Yates Image: Emmanuel Macron and his wife singing with choir / Credit: AFP
